Notes

For adjusting to tour altitude, we suggest one day tours like the Sacred Valley, River Rafting and the City Tour of Cusco. As Guides we offer 100% Gauranteed Information, for your sensibilities - about the best specific hotel rooms and services around Peru, like extra windows and other amenities. This is a list designed to advise you what equipment is appropriate to bring according to the weather conditions predominating at the time of your trip. Flashlights (at least one headlamp among them) : Sun Block; Insect Repellent ; Towels (Small; cotton and hygienic) ; Rain Gear (Pants and Jacket) though not necessary during the months of July and August ; A couple of pairs of socks, perhaps even an extra pair ; One pair of trousers for the evening plus two more pairs for trail use (zip-offs) ; Sandals for River use (Teva types) ; Low ankle height hiking shoes or regular hiking boots (check the season) ; Binoculars (always useful regardless of season and activity) ; Bathing Suit ; Water Bottle (I liter capacity) ; Good Sun glasses, perhaps two sets ; A bandana for neck protection ; A couple of sets of underwear (perhaps an extra pair) ; Camera ; Passport (plus a couple of Xerox copies) ; At least one short sleeve shirt and one or two long sleeve shirts (dark colors, depending on the place and destiny chosen) ; And your regular medium to high altitude outer trekking clothes (Anorak-Wind Breaker, Pile or Down Jacket, Wool Hat, Gloves).

Highlights

On our descent through the cloud forest, we may see some squirrel monkeys “Saimiri Sciureus” and Common Wooly monkeys “Lagothrix Lagothricha” and we will see more orchids and birds that are typical of this ecosystem.

Visit to the place where the national bird of Peru, the Andean “Cock of the Rock” or “Rupicola Peruviana” come together for the mating season. If the time is right, it is possible to witness an incredible display of pageantry and color from these attractive birds

Vsit the Macaw,parrots and parakeet lick or “Collpa". We travel by motorboat to see these beehive-like cliffs over the river where the macaws congregate to “lick” the abundant clay in order to obtain essential salts, both for their nutrition and to neutralize the poison from seeds that they eat. It is a truly fascinating sight.

Trip Info

This eco tour constitutes an exceptional approach to observing the diversity of ecosystems present in the extremely vertical stratification of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes: one can explore sections of highland, the transitional fringes descending into the vegetated zones, followed by the wide range multiplicity of the cloud forest and follow the seemingly constant environmental progression through the high and low Jungles in the area of Manu National Park. Enjoy gentle and enlightening adventure in the Easters slopes of the Andes and its natural and cultural features. Join us on this eco tour and help us support the local economy.
